He seems to getting more than his share of flak for comments he has been making on and off for the last twenty years. i.e. Women do not like/enjoy sexual congress as much as Men!

Not surprisingly the Mail are shouting the loudest.

a link would help.. or even any kind of specific details about what you're referring to! this is the first i'm hearing of it, haven't seen anything on twitter (upon which, i'm sure you know, stephen fry is tantamount to God) or facebook.. i haven't picked up a paper yet..

what is he getting flak for? and why only now, if it's comments he made twenty years ago?


edit: nothing about stephen fry is trending on twitter, which means it can't be being talked about that much :?:

yeah, searched twitter for "stephenfry" and found a lot of info.. just been reading this..

i think he's missed the mark a bit.. there are heterosexual cruising areas - they're just more obvious and "legitimised" because heterosexual sex is more morally acceptable to the wider society.. the local pimps & ho's night is basically the same as gay cruising, but inside in the warmth, with expensive drinks!

but I do think it was wrong of @stephenfry to have made such ignorant generalisations. Especially about women, who are all so emotional
:clap: lol

edit: lol some of these tweets are hilarious:

@stephenfry has got a point. No woman I've ever slept with has enjoyed it.

Wasn't intended to be cryptic - this morning it was top of Googlenews for a while - the Fry haters seem to have been silenced. Guardian had quite a bit on it too.

I've got a lot of time for Stephen to be honest, there are bigger fish to fry in terms of 'comedians who insult women.' He was talking to gay men in a gay magazine, it's purely our information obsessed culture that's made this such a big deal.

I didn't at first, you need to get it and try it, once you do it's a good tool for communication and as a professional photographer it's a great way for you to interact with customers.

Apparently I can get my server to tweet whenever it finishes a download, why would I want to advertise what I'm doing?

Agreed.

Fry's latest blog on the whole affair of opening his mouth and it being taken out of context, twisted and misconstrued:

silliness

A bit long but worth the read.
